The number of studies carried out as to how to teach Turkish to foreign learners is increasing gradually.Aim: The main aim of this study is to produce a list of Turkish words with their IPA transcriptions in order for the learners of Turkish as a Foreign Language to produce and pronounce the words in a correct way that will result in their autonomy and self-esteem in command of Turkish.Method: A phonetic alphabet symbols list was prepared based on the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) to meet the need to teach visually the pronunciation of some basic Turkish words selected from Assoc.Prof.Fatma AÇIK’s list of A1-A2 level Turkish words.Conclusion: A list of IPA transcription of words has been created and appended to the article.
